Overview

Titan RT is a 458-meter-long pedestrian suspension bridge spanning the Rappbode Reservoir in the Harz mountains of Germany.

The bridge is anchored to the rock faces on either side of the valley by 24 anchor rods. It has a total weight of 120 tons and is constructed to support high wind loads. The bridge serves as a walkway across the valley and provides direct access to the adjacent Harzdrenalin adventure area.

Insider tips

Wear closed-toe, comfortable footwear to prevent snagging on the steel grating floor.

Cross the bridge during weekdays to avoid high visitor volume and crowded walkways.

Bring a windproof jacket, as high-altitude winds are common even on clear days.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting during peak weekend afternoons if you prefer a solitary experience, as the walkway becomes crowded.

Good to know

Open daily year-round; may be closed temporarily during extreme storm conditions or high-wind alerts.

Etiquette

Do not attempt to jump or shake the bridge railings, as this is monitored by on-site staff and security cameras.
